Sophie Calle: Blind

4.3/5 ( ratings)

With Blind, French conceptual artist Sophie Calle revisits three earlier works constructed around the idea of blindness. In "Les Aveugles" , created in 1986, she questioned blind people on their representation of beauty; in 1991, in "La Couleur Aveugle" , she asked blind people about their imagination of perception and compared their descriptions to artists' musings on the monochrome; "La Derni�re Image" , produced in 2010 in Istanbul, involved questioning people who had lost their sight on the last image they could remember. By establishing a dialectic between the testimonies of several generations of blind people and Calle's photographs based on these accounts, the artist offers readers a reflection on absence, on the loss of one sense and the compensation of another and on the notion of the visible and the invisible.
